John Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement, used the term “connexion” to describe the connection between the Methodist societies of his day, and the term has continued to be used in both British and United Methodism (though United Methodists spell it differently!) to this day. We celebrate the way that the people and congregation of St. Paul’s United Methodist Church are connected with others around the world!
We know we are in a “high risk” period for different illnesses and that some may wish to worship with us from home. If you cannot join us, we invite you to revisit one of these services from 2020 or 2021 (including the semi-irreverent but fun “Christmas Eve @ The Office”). Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
We invite you to join us beginning Sunday, January 8 for a special worship series in our 9:30 am contemporary worship service: “MARVEL(ous) Faith.” Each week, we’ll come together in praise, watch some clips from recent MARVEL films, and reflect on spiritual themes reflected in some characters’ storylines.
If you are new to St. Paul’s UMC and would like to learn more about The United Methodist Church, St. Paul’s, and what it means to be a member or our congregation, we invite you to join a three-week Newcomers group with Rev. Ron Bartlow!
